Not a good hotel. Maybe i expect too much from a hotel, but I expect as a minimum for there to be free wifi and maybe a kettle in the room. But this place had neither of these. The hotel itself was clean and the staff were friendly but compared to all the other hotels I have stayed in, this one seemed to be one of the worst.
The location is a bit grotty. It isn't far from a metro station, but it is in quite a residential area.
Stay here if you just want to sleep, but not if you need to use the internet. Yes their rooms are cheap, but the amount of extras you then have to pay when you get there makes the stay just as expensive as if you had gone to a more expensive hotel.

The tour guide explained to us that the stage is 200 yards long, and there are 20 different parts of the stage that can be raised or lowered depending on the set design of each scene! Additionally, the power required by the Opera during a performance is the equivalent to running power to a city of 15,000 inhabitants during that time! Thats ludicrous. And to top it all off, there is ...

You then make your way the world famous gate on Pariser Platz (Paris Square). The Brandenburg Gate is the former city gate located in the western part of the city ...

... was full of people. I printed out a ticket. 20 people were infront of me. This gave me enough time to take and print new photos, fill out the 2 new forms and sort my things. I was kindly helped by a man who was also waiting to see someone. The new forms which I had to fill out, being a foreigner on a visa in Berlin were completely in German. Forms to visit India, where one of the official languages is English. Sigh... Anyway it was lovely of him to help me out. His English ...

It is going to be interesting at the end of the night to try and sort out 100 jackets all the same!
